A common theme for this trip seems to be to expect the unexpected. I found myself talking to a friend complaining that "everything that could have possibly gone wrong, has gone wrong, and in the worst way!" In reality all I was concerned with was the destination rather than the process. All the little mishaps and change of plans moments were God ordained life lessons.
Amidst the rescheduling of flights, refusal of a visa, wrong addresses, and utter chaos... I have been able to experience God's provision and faithfulness in a way I never imagined possible. I am getting on a plane at 10:20 tonight and I will be living with the Hunters until November 14th. Rather than working as a Younglife Intern, I will simply be a volunteer serving.
So many people have been a part of making this call to England a reality whether it be support money, skymiles, calling delta for me, words of encouragement, or holding me accountable... none of this would be possible with out you guys. I love you all.
I will be sure to write as soon as I get to London!
Love,
Stephanie

I'm glad that it's all working out for you even if you aren't staying as long as you'd hope you would be.
